A POT FULL OF MONEY

Midway between Fredonia and
Lafayette, Chambers county, Ala,
there exists great excitement over
some recent discoveries of treasure
and rare relics Of other generations.
The matter was at first talked of in
whispers, the parties being afraid that
their discoveries would arouse stran-
gers to claim what was found. At the
loot of one of the little hills, near the
main road, stood log cabin which
for years has been abandoned. Re-
Gently cropper named Sam Crofter,
with his family took possession of the
cabin. While putting the old place
IN order, he was surprised to find in
the chinks several coins of strange
character, with inscriptions in for
elgn language. This aroused his GU
rloslty, for no one was ever known
to have lived in the house who could
have had money in such abundance
as to throw it around in that careless
fashion. But his surprise was not to
end here. Behind the cabin was the
old unused we'll The timbers around
1t were rotten with age. and the old
fashioned windlass was broken: so
Sam determined to clear away the
rubbish, clean out the well and put
1T in good order again. AS he tore
away from its resting place the last
cross-beam he found under it an iron
pot, which was filled with silver
CONS, none Of which bore date later
than 1885. The amount thus found
was in the neighborhood of five
thousand dollars. Sam called his
wife to the spot, and quite consul
tation was held 1t was evident that
this money could not belong to any
one who, at present, lived in the
nelghborhood, and it was decided to
keep the find a secret so as to keep
oil bogus claimants. In the well was
found number Of earrings Of the
long pendant variety so fashionable
fitty years ago, and several heavy fin
ger rings. Crofter by this time be-
gan to fear that the place was be-
witched, and called in one of his
nelghbors for advice. The result
was that Crofter has as much right
to keep the treasure as any one else,
and should do so, until clear claim
should be made for it.
The cabin, which had been 50 long
deserted, was inhabited by strange
white man during the war. After
the battles had begun, this hermit
was noticed in the place He never
associated with the people around.
Whenever he saw any one coming,
he would close the door. The peo-
pie soon learned to avoid the old
man, as he avoided them. When the
collapse came, people had enough to
do to attend to their own affairs, and
1t was some time before it was notic-
ed that the old man had deserted his
lonely haunts. 1t is supposed that
he must have had money and secret
ed 1t about the old place. Certainly
there is no other explanation to be
offered

A farmer residing near Fairfield,
Ia, started fish pond four years ago
with three German carp, about two
inches long and very small. He now
reports his stock at 10000, after hav-
ing sold hundreds for stocking ponds
in other parts of the State. The fish
are said to be us tame as chickens
and source of great pleasure to the
family. There is food for reflection
in this statement for those who like
carp.

SOUTH.

The Chambersburg, Pa, Daily
Register, in noting the fact that
there has been a check in the tide Of
emigration TO the West from that
section, mentions that several per-
sons from FRANKLIN county and a
colony from Cumberland county have
recently purchased homes in North
Carolina. Others have recently gone
to Alabama and Florida. 1t is just
such population that the South is
glad to welcome. The inducements
here are unequaled by any the West
can offer, and there are no hardships
TO be encountered. Young man,
come south.

Mr.. John S. Herndon is one of our
best farmers, and always pays cash
as he goes. Tuesday last from morn
ing until night he had twenty hands
shocking corn, and they didn't get
through. lie says the cows needed
the shucks. Farming don't pay: 1t
don't! Well, how did John Hern-
don make his comfortable fortune
"Old b." says that many years ago
when John Herndon came to this
county a young man, he stepped in
to his store in his shirt sleeves, and
his feet which were torn by briars
were wrapped in rags. He was a
stranger, and asked Old B. if he
would let him have a Jug Of molasses
on credit. Ignoring his rag wrapped
feet, Old b. looked into his eyes
and replied, 'Yes, SIR The next
time John Herndon stepped into the
store he was dressed in broadcloth,
on his way to get married, and Old
b. did not recognize him. Hntwell

A young man could not have a
better fortune than to be master of
some good trade. The father who
is worth millions could not will his
son a better fortune, than to learn
him to do manual labor and also
learn him some good trade. When
a boy works for his money he can
appreciate it more and is not liable
to be silly spendthrift. Many of
our rich men commenced life with
out penny. They learn to make
money, and also learn to take care
of it. Lean your boys and girls
lessons of economy, and you will
probably be proud OF them.

There is a virtue in the apparent
discomfort with our surroundings
that forces us to labor on. 1t is the
active principle Of work and useful
ness. A man who is satisfied with
his performances, and sits down to
an idle enjoyment of the fruits of his
labor, retrogrades, but he, who, in
the active use Of the powers with
which he has been endowed, goes
forward to the improvement of his
talents, is fulfilling the designs of his
Creator. This restless ambition to
improve our condition is wise ex-
preston of Providence. Like the
ceaseless wave motion of the ocean,
the activity Of individual molecules
stirs the mass Of society with puri-
tying and eleyating effect.

A GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN.

Here is pretty little Washington
romance: One of the Georgia mem
bers OF Congress has fashion of car
rying revolver whenever he leaves
the House at night. His friends have
ridiculed him, and assured him that
any part OF Washington was as safe
at midnight as at MONDAY. But he
wouldn't be laughed out of his pre-
cautions, and now is glad that he
WASH t. He had been attending a
committee meeting at one of the
downtown hotels the other night.
1t was nearly one o'clock when he
started home. As he neared the
corner of Fourteenth street and the
Thomas Circle, burly. negro step
ped from the shade of the overhang-
ing trees and insolently demanded to
know the time. Robbery was un-
doubleday his motive, but the Geor-
gla member was equal to the occa-
sion. lie rammed both hands into
his pockets, and when he pulled them
out the left hand held handsome
gold watch and the right an ugly
looking revolver. Holding both with
in an inch of the footpad's nose, he
coolly said Look for yourself sir"
The negro did look. Then he polite
ly touched his hat and ran away as
fast as his legs could carry him. The
Georgia members may be depended
on to take care of themselves in Wash
| IngtOn.

SOUTHERN MILLS BOOMING.

The Columbus, Ga, cotton mill peo-

in S24, 900 worth of machinery in
their other three mills. A Griffin,
Ga, mill company has just received
a large order from China. This COM
pany will put in $4,000 worth of
new machinery to make checks in cot
tonades. The Atlanta cotton mills
have been recognized by Lowell,
Mass, company, by which cheaper
and far better work can be done.
The newest machinery has been put
in and the oldest put out to sell to
some starter. The demand for knit
goods in the South is so active that a
Columbus concern has just doubled
its capacity, and is turning out one
hundred dozen half hose daily. The

TAKE CARE OF THE TOOLS.

Spring work on the farm is begin
ming and there is nothing of more
Importance than good tools and i'm
plements, and they ought to be kept
in first class order. A good thing
for farmer to do at this season of
the year is to look over his stock of
tools, machinery and implements, and
put all in first class-order. Do this
by cleaning them perfectly; see that
the wood work is complete in all re-
spects examine every bolt and nut,
and replace all that are badly worn !:
if needed, use a liberal portion of
paint as a preservative. The best
article to clean off the grease from
running parts is kerosene or ben
zine, and then a liberal application
OF cotton waste. If you have found
you need any particular implement,
take the time to see where you can
get the best one and secure it in sea-
son.
